Lancome Paris Best of Colour Focus 8 Eye-shadow Palette Review!!!

Hi Guys! Im back!

Sorry for that short break, but school has been SUPER stressful lately (Separate blog post on it HERE) what with Orals, Detentions and teachers. But anyways, today Im doing a Lancome Best of Colour Focus Palette! I originally got this at Duty free so I got it for £17.00 and the usual price is around £24.00 - £26.00 so I think I saved a lot.

Colours     

I quite like the colours of this palette but there are a few, like the green, blue and purple one that I wont be using to go out, maybe for just messing around with make-up. 
However, I LOVE the cream, the gold, the black (for eyeliner) and the brown. Sometimes I do a combination of the gold, cream and the brown which is SUPER easy to do and looks put-together.

Names of the colours

Top row left to right:

103 Moonlight.
110 Black is black
103 Reveries de charme
302 Round midnight

Bottom row left to right:

Hell, those French words were hard to spell!

Swatches go from top left hand corner, across and down.


Staying Power

I usually put concealer on my eyelids anyway because I have really veiny eyelids. Ew! I know ha-ha! And concealer can also be used as a eyelid-primer so it stays on pretty good. When I use the black for eyeliner you usually have to re-touch half way through the day but the light colours really stay on and I can still notice it by the end of the night.

Overall

Overall, I really like this palette and I use it lots and lots, I have hit pan on two colours, the black and the cream, BUT. I dont think I will be repurchasing because of the price, and I had saved up for this pallette but Im sure I could very easily find doupes for the colours.
